I've just started leash training one of my cats (the other is much to scared!). But Tommy has taken well to it once he realizes he gets to be outside. I do worry that it might be more of a tease than an adventure though... does anyone have thoughts on this? He does not stop crying once we come...

I hate to be negative nancy here, but honestly maybe re-homing the kittens should be something to think about. You clearly care for these kittens and want the best for them, but neither option sounds like a suitable living situation for them. Even if you manage to keep the fleas and ticks out of...

I did Albon for 10 days...didn't work and now my other cat caught the coccidia. After my own research (most of it from all the wonderful people on this site) I asked my vet to  look into ponazuril, she wasn't familiar but after she looked into it she found the same info I did and prescribed it...

I've used this collar for a little over a month now.  Be careful as I've read some horrific bad reactions (hair loss, the latch is not safe and can choke some cats if they try to get it off) however I haven't had any negative effects and it certainly doesn't seem like it drugs my cat at all.  I...

Will do!

I just placed an order from http://www.catfaeries.com/. Wondering if anyone has tried any of these? I have 2 cats (one newly added to the house a month ago). Their relationship is progressing with time, but I thought this may help my make my resident cat more accepting in addition to him being...

I wanted to provide a happy update! It's been about a month of having Tommy added to the household (the black tuxedo) and something has changed over the last few days and seems like these guys will be the best of buds!!  They are doing really well with each other and even napping together!  I...

I adopted a 1 year old cat and learned he has coccidia after taking him to my vet. He's been on Albon for 7 days now (supposed to be done at 10 days).   I'm very concerned reading all of this as it seems my vet did not give me all the information I needed. I have another 8 month old cat and I...

Thanks for the advice to both of you!!!  I no longer let James wear the calming collar unless I'm home to supervise, not worth the possible hazards there!  Tommy and James are pretty much the same since my last post. I'm so grateful James is eating normally and not vomiting. But I do hope that...

Thanks maybe I'll try that! I normally would like to use something for vet visits or when visitors come over...but I adopted another cat 2 weeks ago and it's been a rough road, although it is slowly progressing. My resident cat is a very nervous little guy...he is now constantly chasing after...

I'm happy to report James is back to eating and going to the bathroom normally. What a relief!!!!  After a couple days of normal eating and playing, I started to introduce them again. I think it's going well...no growling or hissing and they even eat together with no problem.  I've had a few...
